I liked a couple of songs on the album, the ones released as singles when it come out. Other than that it is another electronica album that kinda sounds like the other albums that I've listened to. I'm just not qualified in the genre to be able to determine what makes one album better than another.
Even if I don't really like an album I do enjoy reading the history of the artist, and one thing that I have noticed is that a lot of these artists and bands on the list are interconnected. Artists have played together in different bands and have been in multiple bands on the list. What I've come to believe is that if you are a musician and have talents either for writing music or lyrics or both you are going to keep doing it for your whole life. If one band isn't popular or if it falls apart there is something else that they start up or get involved with.
I like soul/funk, a lot. I'm pretty sure I have shared that in the past. Clocking in at 45 minutes and only 4 songs, it was bearable to listen to for the fact that is was a pretty good soul/funk album. Long drawn out bass and drum parts really made it a pleasure to listen to.
There is value in some bands purely making quirky songs that are fun. The Violent Femmes, Dead Milkmen, Weird Al and others have made careers out of it. I would put Devo in this category. The have a gimmick to their style that they used to sell music. For those that are fans of Devo it works for them. Honestly I didn't think the album was very good.
Lou Reed's band before going solo. I was kind of indifferent about it, it was just kind of blah.
I bought this album when it came out for one reason, the song "Nothing Compares 2 U" is written by Prince. I had heard the song and liked it, but I had not heard of Sinead or any of her other music or songs on the album. Luckily the album turned out to be pretty good and was worth the purchase, and it was good to listen to it again after a lot of years.
So this album turned out to be a cross of punk, country, rock, alternative and a little bit of Irish/Scottish type music. I liked some of the music but most of it I could have lived without.
10 pop standards re imagined as country songs. It probably spawned one of his most popular song recording, "Georgia On My Mind". It really worked, and I really liked it.
I had heard one or two of these songs previously but the whole album wasn't what I had expected. I thought the band was way more funk oriented, but they ended up being way more disco that what I thought it was going to be. Not terrible but not that good either.
Speaking of punk, the Ramones might be the most popular and perhaps the most influential American punk bands ever. It was definitely more tolerable to listen to. The music is a little more refined and you can understand the singer. Two good starting points for punk. I wouldn't say that I loved the album but I didn't hate it either.
It feels like I have had to listen to a lot of punk music so far, and every time an albums starts up and I realize that it is going to be punk I think two things. 1. Please let it be better than most all of the other punk albums I've had to endure so far, or at least listenable and 2. hopefully the band is the same as most every other punk band and the songs are short and to the point so the album doesn't last too long. Well, this album was not better than the others, it might have been worse, mostly cause I had a hard time understanding what the singer was even saying, but it did end quickly, 15 songs and 29 minutes, short torture.
I am not an Elvis fan. I know there are millions of people that love him, his music, his movies, everything about him. They buy every re-release of repacked songs that have been released 20 times already and they have visited Graceland at least once. That's just not me. His music just doesn't connect with me. Do I think he had huge success and probably deservedly so, sure. He recorded a ton of albums and had a ton of hit songs, but I view him of more of a musician that was used by those around him as a huge marketing machine. Other people wrote his songs and he put his stamp on them and made them popular. Nothing wrong with that, it made him a lot of fame and wealth, his music just isn't for me. 
So Faces started out as the band "Small Faces" but chanced their name after their lead singer quit the group. The new formation of the recruited Rod Stewart as lead singer and Ron Wood, of future Rolling Stones fame, on guitar, both from The Jeff Beck Group. 
I remember when this album came out in 1984. It was insanely popular, and spawned the hits "What's Love Got to Do with It", "Show Some Respect", "Better Be Good to Me", and "Private Dancer". I didn't like it back then and I didn't like it listening to it again now. Just not my style.
Mudhoney is another, less popular, band to come out of the Seattle grunge scene. I thought the album was average at best. The songs and the singing were were really nothing to exciting and not really worth the listen.
A pretty good electronic dance album, although I prefer their album that followed this one "Rooty", although it didn't make the list.
Queens of the Stone Age (QotSA) are a pretty decent, kind of quirky rock band. I know more of their later albums, and like quite a bit of their music. It was interesting to go back and listen to their debut, which I had not previously heard, and get a feel for their origins. Their music has definitely evolved and become more refined and maybe you could say more radio friendly over time.
I remember when this album came out. The song "South side" was huge, and actually really really good. What I didn't know, after listening to the whole album, was that there are quite a few songs that were quite popular and also really good. What Moby does with this album I think is he avoids the trap a lot of electronica/techno music falls into and that is sounding repetitive. The songs were all different from each other and even the songs themselves didn't get repetitive and boring.
One of the best rock albums to come out of the 80's, it spawned the hits "Jump" - another iconic song in my opinion, "Panama", "Hot For Teacher" and "I'll Wait". The Whole album is only 33 minutes long but it is a super fun 33 minutes. Eddie Van Halen is arguably one of the best guitar players ever and the bands incorporation of synthesizers on a rock album is just awesome.
A better than average punk album. The songs were really quite good. Fun album to listen to. The band only released 2 albums however and broke up three years after forming.
About all I could find out about Fred Neil was that he was a 60/70's folk singer that never acheived much commercial success with his music. As a boy he got interested in Dolphins and in the early 70's he basically retired from music and moved to Florida where he tried to help preserve as many Dolphins as he could. He did this until his death in 2001.
I like Alice In Chains a lot. I got introduced to them when their "Jar of Flies" album came out, and I decided to go back and listen to their older albums, which were in no way like Jar of Flies. In my opinion they are the best band to come out of the Seattle grunge scene of the 90's. It is too bad that the death of the lead singer Layne Staley due to drug overdose ended their run caue they were making some good music.
This is my first exposure to The Bee Gees other than "Staying Alive" from Saturday Night Fever, and I guess I was kind of expecting to get the same type of upbeat disco music on this album. Nope. This album is very subdued, and every song on the album could be classified as a ballad. I didn't love or hate the album, it was just good enough to keep me listening but not good enough to make me care about it.
My favorite music genres, in order, are 80's dance/electronic/new wave, alt rock and heavy metal/hard rock. I have loved hard rock from a really early age when I started to listening to KISS, and my love for the genre continued but for a lot of years I really didn't have any favorites. Then one day I discovered an album called "...And Justice For All" and my love for heavy metal was re-ignited.
There are some songs that are iconic. The Beatles and Elvis, to name a couple, have many such songs. Songs that, if you are over a certain age, you have heard it. I would argue that the song "American Pie" is one such song. Play the opening of the song and I bet that almost everyone has heard it, and knows the lyrics.
Another rap album with explicit lyrics in every song and no clean version of the album to listen to.
There was a movie version Romeo and Juliet, staring Leonardo DiCaprio that came out quite awhile ago. It was a modern version of the story and was really quite good. I remember hearing a snippet of a song in the movie that left me wanting to hear the whole song. I ended up really liking the song but the band, in my opinion, is just a one hit wonder. The rest of the album was not very good and not worth listening too.
This was a pretty good album, with the added bonus of having a song on it that I remember listening to when I was a kid, a lot, but totally forgot about.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Not a big fan of country. However if I had to listen to country this is a great example of a country album that I can tolerate. It's kinda slow, mellow, easy listening. Lyrically and musically it is sound, and I did really like the old school instruments. They did a great job incorporating some steel guitar, fiddle and slide guitar.
